Coach Talk

Wicked Clowns
Mission accomplished, Wicked Clowns. Nice work assembling a lineup that posted more than 128 points this past matchup. Let's maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
Morningwood
Chin up, Morningwood! You can take our word for it, we've been in this industry for quite a long time now. Adversity happens, losses pile up, your fans get whiny, and the local beat writers get a little testy with their incessant questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
